In fact, a quarter of all continuing education is now conducted online, and the Internet is playing a critical role in enabling access to information 24/7, which is particularly important in the health care profession."

Reprinted with permissionThe purpose of this discussion is to describe the benefits of a uniform approach to measuring clinical outcomes and to report on the outcomes results for a sample of live Continuing Medical Education (CME) sessions. Demonstrating measurable and meaningful outcomes in physician knowledge and practice is an extremely important opportunity for providers of CME. Since 2002, Pri-Med has been using a wide variety of uniform tools to measure outcomes, including session and speaker evaluation forms, question-and-answer cards, interactive audience response data, and control/participant long-term knowledge retention instruments

Reprinted with permissionThe United States for years has been the leader in CME programs. But now ongoing education is gaining ground overseas - a trend that's likely to continue as Western Companies set up shop abroad.
Reprinted with permissionDoctors turn to multiple CME channels for more than just credits. Most physicians admit that it's a struggle to keep up with the latest breakthroughs in science and medicine. But they also don't mind doing it, because they believe it's their professional responsibility to be lifelong learners. That means there always will be a need for continuing medical education (CME), delivered through a variety of channels, to help healthcare providers deliver the best possible care for their patients.
Reprinted with permissionIn a nationwide study to assess the influence of continuing medical education on primary care, significant changes in clinical practice behavior were found to occur across the range of therapeutic areas covered at CME programs, according to The Pri-Med Institute.
Reprinted with permissionPhysicians have always made continuing medical education an important part of their career paths — far in excess of credits required for licensure. The weight of corporate scandals and increased public scrutiny has placed an additional burden on CME providers, as they walk the fine line between making events worth doctors’ time and adhering to ACCME and OIG guidelines.
Reprinted with permissionThe continuous challenge for providers of professional education is to understand the learning preferences of practicing clinicians and respond with valuable products and services that are carefully aligned with their needs and preferences.
Reprinted with permissionThe fear among medical education providers is that the increasing popularity of e-CME will replace the live event. With that in mind, the big challenge to med ed’s commercial supporters is to determine the best format for their efforts; should they support online or in-person programs?
